Judge Pratt has issued an order for
our County Commissioners to 90 to
work and obey the laws Of the state
and the wishes of the people Of Graham
county awhile. A majority of our laws
have become a dead letter on our stat
utes, and the wishes Of the people ig
nOred tits time to call halt in this
matter and we assure the Honorable
Judge that wronged people thank him
for coming to theirrescue.
In accordance with orders Of Judge
Pratt issued at Merton on the 10th.
our Commissioners met at Millbrook
last Tuesday and proceeded to canvass
the county seat petition and just how
near they have done their duty we are
not prepared to say this week
The rights of the people had be-
come the last consideration Of that
august BODY and our county court
mockery. Men are elected to offices of
public trust to serve their constituency
and not to serve one or two individuals
as is the case with part Of our county
commissioners.
Mr. Daily does not nor has not rep
resented, a single interest Of his eonstit-
uancy, and we hadley think represents
his own. We will not say that he has
been purchased by one or two men.
but We do say that it looks very much
that way to US. Neither will we say
that he has violated his oath of office.
but we hardley think he has complied
with single sentence of the same.
But, perhaps, when Mr.. Dalbv
took the oath of Office he took this
mental reservation:-to do the bidding
Of Harwi to the best Of his abilitv.--If
so we think he has performed his duty
in that respect admirably well, but if be
swore to serve the people. we think he
has made 4 sad failure.
Without feeling prompted by any
county seat jealousy, we ask YOU. Mr..
Daily, to show us a single thing YOU
have done during your term of office SIS
county commissioner that has benefited
the people, and this all with the best
Of feeling toward YOU.
Awake gentlemen! serve the people
ofGraham county awhile without a
writ ofmandamus and we assure Won
that God, in his infinite mercy will look
down and call you blessed; a once.
Wronged con stituency will rejoice, and
you, yourselves viii feel much letter

Il Paws to Think

A striking instance of the extent 10
which labor saving machinery Is
carried nowadays, says the Industrial
Journal, is shown in the tin can III
dustry. Everybody knows that TIN
cans are manufactured by machinery.
One of the machines used in the pro.
cess soldiers the longitudinal seams OF
the cans rushing along in u coAtinu-
Gus stream. Now, OF course, a'drop
or two of solder Is left on the can.
The drop on the outside can be easily
cleansed away, but it is not so easy 10
secure the drop left on the inside. IL
wouldn't do OF course, to retard the
speed of the work-better waste the
drop, it Is only II triflle,' anyhow, All"
to so men in 100 it would not seem
worth minutes attention. The nun
dreth man worked for firm using
one of these machines, and he set
about devising an ingenious arrange
ment for wiping the Inside of the cah'
thereby saving that drop of solder
and leaving none to come in contact
with the contents of the can. He was
encouraged by his employers to pat
emit his Invention. did so and has al
ready received several thousand dol
lars in royalties for its use AS the
machine soldiers 10000 cans day, the
solder saved by his invention amount
ed to SIS day. 1t pays to think as
you work.
Morris tribune., 1887-12-07
PURE AIR.

Volumes have been written to in
duce people to appreciate the value of
pure air, but the appreciation is by no
means universal. 1t can hardly be
said to be general enough among peo-
pls to warrant the conclusion that
one in a hundred really values pure
air for what 1t is worth. Impure air
means certain injury to the human
system, and enough of it means some
distinct form of disease and death.
We are now entering upon the season
that fills our houses with impure air,
and unless there is some scienti tic
means of ventilation, and the house
is close, we must breathe more or less
bad air all through the winter. OF
course we cannot keep our windows or
doors open, and nearly all the air that
gets in must come through the loose
windows and about the loose doors.
An open house, therefore, is not an
unmixed misfortune Ivy any means,
aup uS we NuluC ouI Nv Oo GIL" iISoAAu
we should give more attention TO the
subject of ventilation and to keeping
all parts of the house in sweet, fresh
clean condition. The cellar is the
greatest source of trouble. Whatever
gases terminate there penetrate the
whole house. The cellar, therefore
should be frequently examined, ane
all decaying vegetables aud fruits re
moved. Lime is always excellent fol
keeping the cellar In more perfect
order than it otherwise can be kept
There ought to be ventilation in every
eeller, but in absence of ventilation a

lime kept in the CELLAR for the aLsorpi
ton OF the dampness will be advisable
This winter. especially, we shoult
kept remlses in just the hes
possible onditlon that when Sprin,
and Sammer come, we may hol,
forth no special invitation TO cholera
1t is considerably more than possibl
that we may be visited b.
cholera next Summer. It's presenc

menace; and it behooves every one c
| us to prepare to defend our lives an

The annualreport of the superin-

shows that while yielding no profit
for the year, the system was substan-
TALLY self-sustaining. The increase
of domestic money orders issued was
about 16 per cent; OF postal notes
about per cent. The increase OF in-
ternatlonal money orders about "a per
cent, and in the number paid about
six per cent. The total amount of

We have written much about the
necessity of taking good care of stock
in this climate during the winter,
but now that the winter months are
with us, we just want to say that it
is poor policy to act Oh the penny
wise and pound-fooIish plan of starv-
ing the cattle for the sake of selling a
little hay. Remember that what
cattle lose iii flesh this winter they
will have to make up next summer.
Remember, too, that to get a pound
ofmeat, butter, cheese, or anything OF
the kind, the substance of a pound
must be given i'm some manner OF
shape. There is no possible chance
for cheating in this business. Better
feed an animal ten bushels more
corn during the winter, in addition
to the regular feed, and have him
come out right in the spring, than to
have him just able to stand up Farm
